Battle of the Four Courts

The Battle of the Four Courts stands as a defining moment in Irish history, marking the dramatic beginning of the Irish Civil War. This brief yet intense confrontation commenced on 28th June, 1922, centring around the imposing Four Courts building on the River Liffey. The events that unfolded within and around these neoclassical walls would irrevocably shape Ireland’s political destiny.

The Four Courts represents more than a historic battle ground – it is the enduring heart of Irish law and justice. From tragedy and division emerged the legal institutions that continue to serve Ireland today. As a firm dedicated to litigation we remember this history, seeking resolution where there is conflict, clarity where there is complexity and justice where it is most needed.
